Homework #5 is now available. It is due on Tuesday, November 3rd.

Homework #4 is now available, along with the accompanying SPSS data file (.sav); see “Course Documents,” below.

To download a copy of the questions that you’ll need for developing the questionnaire (as part of HW #3), click here.

For those looking to get familiar with SPSS, I have uploaded a data file and a set of practice questions. These questions are not required work, but I think that you might find them useful to answer as you work through the data.  If you’d like, answer the questions and e-mail me short responses. I will correct them for you.  (This is not required homework, but an opportunity for you to get feedback.)

Note that HW #3 is now online.

I have also posted copies of the checklist for planning your project (used in class on Tuesday, September 22nd).
